Sorry for the delay. I installed the updated billet bypass valve. The spring is about the same as the plastic one and because of that, there's virtually no change. However, I think it is a little louder than the plastic because of the metal construction. This is not what I was hoping for obviously

I know the bypass is supposed to protect the TB when it's closed but during partial throttle I wish it was open a little longer. It would be nice if it closed at -10 boost (vacuum) instead of 0-3 boost. This would still protect the TB when off throttle but provide the boost under partial throttle. Is that bad for the engine?
